I nod once, "Yes, I am sure." Pulling out my debit card I lay it down so I'll be the one paying. "Positive."
After a minute or two the lady returns with the rest of my order, "Alright that's--"
"Here," I slide my card up to her. "And take an extra five for yourself." She blinks at me before doing as told, adding five dollars to the tips as "return" money. Then she gives me my card back, I slip it back to where it belongs. "Thanks."
And then take my scones and drinks in hand, "C'mon, Shik." And lead my friend back to our table.

Shiki had put her money away when Namine had pulled out her card, a little reluctant but complying with it. At the blond's words she nodded and followed her back, coffee in hand.

"Heeeyyyyyyyy, you okay?" I cock my head to the side as I sit, relaxing and sipping my Mint-Mocha. "I wasn't... mean was I?"

"No, no! You weren't mean at all!" Shiki rushed her words, shaking her head, "Just didn't want you going out of your way for me." And after a moment she laughed at herself, "I have got to stop worrying about these kind of things."

I beam at her and then laugh softly, "Shiki... I'm not going outta my way for you... If I was I wouldn't be happy about it." And then I sip at my drink again. "Oh...! I got right down to business... I'm sorry, I forgot to ask how you are... So... Shiki... How are you? Do anything recently? Got any plans?"

She leaned back in her chair, "I've been a little better actually. Haven't done anything special really. Just eat, sleep, work, talk with a really annoying person I know-" Shiki's voice faltered, she'd been going through her usual schedule, not meaning to add the last part in. She sipped her coffee, "But don't have any plans. Wow, I sound really boring."

My head shakes, "Naw... You're living day to day... So..." I raise an eye brow. "Annoying person... Do I have to knock someone on their ass for you?''

Shiki laughed, "No, I can handle him. I swear he was brought into my life to keep me on my toes." She rolled her eyes, "And if he'd just answer me straight then I probably would be able to have a conversation where I don't want to glare at him. But you know, probably not going to happen."

"Hmmm... Alright... But my offer still stands," I'm not completely useless at times... I could knock someone to the ground if need be. Sighing, I pause and then shake my head. "Food... We're gonna need to figure out what kinda food... Hmm... Maybe I could convince my dad to cover that...?"
I lay my head down next to my sketch book, sighing to myself before I sit up, "Shiki... I have forgiven Neku right? I mean... Its okay to forgive him, right? I mean... I musta deserved it... But... I don't know..."
I'm scared.
As you should be...
Don't want him turning out like...
... worried too...

Frowning Shiki set her coffee down on the table. She tilted her head to the side, "What do you mean? Yeah it's good to forgive him but...what did he do?" The way she said the end of her sentence held and option to whether Namine wanted to tell her or not.

"He... Well... it wasn't physical or anything, but it still hurt..." I pause and think over how to explain it before just rushing out. "Ithinkhehitmewithapsyhicblastorsomething." And then lay my head down again.
"I'm just... I don't know...Irrationally afraid, I guess..." My shoulders shrug. "He promised he'd never hurt me... but... he did..." I can't remember what happened before that, like snapping out of a daze... I had been so angry, SO VENGEFUL, that all I could think about was how much I wanted to pound Ashe's head in... And then... And then... I remember feeling love, a strong and unyeilding love...
...
.........
... It was shattered by a slap a crossed my brain....
.... And that scares me to no end.

A sharp intake of breath was Shiki's reaction to her words. Admittedly, she was shocked at Neku. And disappointed. Even angry with with him for it. Especially when Namine said he promised ro never hurt her. That was Shiki's tip of the iceberg, promises broken pissed her off to no end.
Slowly she let out the breath she had been holding. Then, keeping her voice as level as possible she said, "He did, did he...do you think he meant to do it? Or was it an accident?"

"This is Neku... Always stressing, always worrying... Always braking down, scared and lonely, Neku," My voice quivers as a thought plays a crossed my mind, a realization. "He's loving and sweet and a closet case romantic... Never would he harm the fly unless... Unless the fly tried to harm him first..."
Did... I....?
Namine!
Namine, stop it!
You very may well have.
"Nami... please... calm down..."
--Nami, please!
I did... Didn't I?
Memories of fear and pain echo in my head. Fear of ME echoes the loudest.
Yes, you did.
"... I musta... scared... Neku..."
All my fault... Its always my fault... Useless, thoughtless, loveless girl!
Awe, its not that bad... I mean... You do have a knack for turning men into abusers, right?
Ha...HUH?
Let me show you~
My eyes close and I can feel myself holding in tears, "I'm sorry... I don't think it was an accident... But... I may have needed it..."

Needed it? Shiki couldn't understand that, but she did understand the bad feeling she got from the situation. The same one she got the day in her apartment. Reaching across the table she took Namine's hand and gripped it tight, "Hey, Nami. It's alright...listen, I think you can forgive Neku. He broke a promise and that's not easy to get over. But in time it'll heal. You just have to be willing to put it behind you."
She took a deep breath, "And I don't know what you mean by needing it...but no one deserves to be hurt by someone they care about. Ever. So don't think like that."

Glancing at Shiki, I nod, slowly and calmly. After a moment I turn my gaze onto my drinks and the scones I had ordered, "Shiki... I..."
--
"Nam, come here."
"Coming~."
I skip over to someone, they turn yellow eyes on me and then smirk. My arm is grabbed and I'm pulled into their lap. My breath comes out in a gasp as I stare up at their smirking yellow gaze.
"Remember how you promised we could do anything I wanted?"
"Well... I... Yes, --- love, why?"
"Oh well, just," And then lips are over mine, I try to shove them away, but I can't. Hands travel and I--
---
"... I actually..."
---
The knifes digs into my flesh as a cruel, yellow gaze watches me as I gasp below it. Pain and pleasure both seeping into my vains. And I can't help it if I actually am enjoying this torture... But that's what this is, its not a form of love, its the opposite...
It scares me...
---
"... Sorta... Well, Shiki I'm... A pain addict..."
---
My knife this time cuts a crossed the way and not down the street. Down will get me killed. This, this is fine. I watch the red substance bleed from me...
---
"I like pain and torture and all sorts of things... Just not done out of anger, not done out of spite..."
Not only do I enjoy doing it to myself... I enjoy inflicting it upon others. Fascinated by their crimson flows... Something about blood... Just makes me happy.
